I tried to design stuff

I tried to design a few things I needed. That actually took a lot of my time, as I'm not accustomed to it.

Now ... I needed a few hinges for the 3D printer enclosure and had to design and print them myself as I could not find what I needed at Thingyverse. So heres the design ... something like a "hang-in" hinge:

It worked ... not ...

The angle part was good and worked perfectly fine and was easily printable ... but the hinge was not working as intended. As some may have seen, there are some base problems with the hinge itself:

1. it does not have mounting holes

2. it is too short to fit over the angle

So I fixed the parts and got the following design:

Now everything worked like a charm and I could easily finish the door for the printer enclosure:

Why did I need such a hinge?

I wanted to open and close the front of the enclosure with minimal size requirements and I had the requirement that I wanted to be able to easily take off the door. Now do that with a normal hinge ... possible. But then I have the problem with the door edges not being able to be opened to the side due to size constraints. I would have needed a hinge that extracts as you open the door, which makes it highly complex and subsequently, failure prone.

But overall I'm happy with what came out, even though it can be further refined.

Now I'll need to design some TPU printable grips for the cables of my new dashcam ... see you then!
